selenium - Python - find element if the previous contains specific type value in xpath -

i struggling find way match element if there previous element contains specific name.

let's take example following html:

<div>     <input type="text" name="name"> </div> <div>     <input type="text" name="email"> </div> <div>     <input class="bla"> </div> <!-- there might more divs between email / name , button want press--> <div>     <button class="something" type="submit"></button> </div> 

i want click on element of type="submit" (instead of button tag there can anything) if after element contains name="email" or name="name".

to match name , email , complete them values have this:

# variables , booleans defined here # (...)   driver = webdriver.firefox()  lista = [     'https://rapidevolution.clickfunnels.com/jv-page-2',     'http://listhubpro.com/jv',     'http://viralautopilotfunnels.com/jv',     'http://giantvideokit.com/vol3jv',     'http://www.thefivedalliance.com/jv',     'http://cpaapex.com/jv/',     'http://www.wpproassistant.com/partners/',     'http://domainerelite.com/',     'http://socialsurveys.io/jv/',     'http://tubeviperx.com/jvinvite',     'http://svensroadtoimsuccess.com/affiliates', ]  url in lista:     not_found = false     name_required = true     email_required = true     button_required = true      driver.get(url)     time.sleep(2)  try:         name_box = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@*[contains(translate(., 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'name')]]")         name_box.click()         name_box.clear()         name_box.send_keys('myname')     except:         not_found = true      try:         email_box = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@*[contains(translate(., 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'email')]]")         email_box.click()         email_box.clear()         email_box.send_keys('email@yahoo.com')     except:         not_found = true      if not_found:         print "here"         element in driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//input[@type='text']"):             if name_required:                 try:                     name_box = element.find_element_by_xpath(".[@*[contains(translate(., 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'name')]]")                     name_box.click()                     name_box.clear()                     name_box.send_keys('myname')                     name_required = false                     continue                 except:                     pass              if email_required:                 try:                     email_box = element.find_element_by_xpath(".[@*[contains(translate(., 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'), 'email')]]")                     email_box.click()                     email_box.clear()                     email_box.send_keys('email@yahoo.com')                     email_required = false                     break                 except:                     pass              if (not name_required) , (not email_required) , (not button_required):                 break # here, code not doing want      element1 in driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//*[@type='submit'][preceding-sibling::email]"):         if button_required:             try:                 button = element1.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@type='submit'][preceding-sibling::email]").click()                 element1.click()                 element1.send_keys(keys.enter)                 #button_required = false                 continue             except:                 try:                     element1.find_element_by_xpath('/a').click()                     #button_required = false                 except:                     pass      time.sleep(2)     print button_required 

i kindly asking there more 10 days fighting situation.

i think want this:

//*[@type="submit"][preceding::*[@name="email" or @name="name"]] 

of course if want match case-insensitively, you’ll need translate(…) thing "submit" , "email" , "name":

//*[@type[translate(., 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') = "submit"]][preceding::*[@name[translate(., 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') ="email" or translate(., 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz') ="name"]]]
